I'll go first 👇🏻

- My employer hired me when it was Fully WFH, now they force me to join office after 8 months of joining.
- Attend 5 days/week
- No hybrid
- Biometric system to track attendance 
- Complete 180 hours in a month or pay cut
- No relocation support
- Less appraisal (~5%) citing market conditions.
- Removed unlimited leaves just a few days below announcing WFO.

FYI: I was named best employee for 2023 Q1

Toxic company traits

Software Engineer

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Can’t take more than 5days leave together in a month.
No WFH

Worst leave policy!!

Almost 50% of the org got no increments
People with "exceeds" rating got single digit increments
Only promotion cases have got early to mid double digit increments
Promotions have been significantly fewer this time, max people have been told to hold off their expectations of promotions for another year

The reasons cited were economic slowdown, other companies like Microsoft, Flipkart, swiggy, Amazon doing the same and cost cutting. I think things are getting toxic and the majority of employees have been left disappointed.

What policy by your employer backfired?

In one of my friend ex-company manager was tired of bugs and system going down very often. So instead of focusing on code quality, unit test, automating flows. He decided he would maintain sheet based on number of bugs fixed for devs and for QA's it would be number of bugs found.  
 Whichever team would fix highest number bugs would get extra bonus or something. Similarly for QA.  
  
 Guess what one team figured out how to beat the system. They dev and qa teams teamed up. tons of bugs were written and only to be found by QA and quickly squashed by Dev's. 
  
 Plan backfired. Client was paying for all the extra hours spent on fixing this. I don't remember of the bonuses were paid.

What made it worst? The pay, the culture, or your manager?

What's the worst company you have worked for?

ICICI Bank, they had a strict sign in timing policy where if you are late to corporate office, half day salary would be cut, It would be reversed only when manager approves. The sign out time used to be 5.15pm, but you would be made to sit till 8 pm by most of the managers even if your job is done for the day. A sign out at 6 pm used to be called as half day by most of the managers. 
 I heard now they donot have this dictatorial policy.

L&T Mindtree locking employees in office as per Reddit post.

This shit would be illegal in Europe or other developed countries. That manager and company would get a legal kick in their nuts so hard. In Indian it'll take 10 or 20 years for any resolution even if they manage to file a case.

Despite meeting all targets, I've been put under PIP. The HR is saying that I have one month to improve my performance or I'll be asked to leave, and that too without severance. 

I just want to know if there are similar policies at your company?  Means are you not eligible for severance if you are being asked to leave under PIP?

This is just a way for the company to escape from paying severance pay. 
  
 Start looking for a new job and move on. 
  
 Be confident that’s it’s nothing to do with your skills or capabilities.

Don’t ever get to hear any news about Nykaa lay offs/ cost cutting by firing employees. Are they really such a stable startup? 
Also why are their employees never active on Twitter/ LinkedIn? What is the company culture like?

Product Owner

50% layoff at a Bangalore  based health tech startup. Founder had no shame or guilt. Has raised funding recently but chose to fire people again. This is the third layoff in the last 1.5 years. Terrible management, declined variable pay. Severance is to paid in the next 4 months. Just trying to pivot the company into ‘AI’ without any plan whatsoever.

I met one of my college friends yesterday at a bar. She got married last year and was laying down the struggle of finding a new job. 

Now, apparently in many interviews when she reached the final few rounds, the HR or the Hiring Manager enquires about marital status and whether she has any children. 

When she mentions that she recently got married and that she does not have any kids, the company stops responding to her. 

She elaborated that although they might have found another fit for the role but she is a T-1 grad who did her Masters from an Ivy League college and has worked for 4-5 years in both NA+EMEA and India.

It is becoming more apparent to her that, HRs and Hiring Managers have a strong bias because they are definitely presuming that since she recently got married and will likely have a child soon, that she will use up her maternity privileges leading to significant productivity drop. Meaning, that the company will likely have to hire someone else to make up for productivity loss.

She does not plan to have kids for another 3-4 years but getting married is proving really hard for her. 
Especially in the Series B+ startups that she is applying to.

[Thread] Have you ever witnessed someone get discriminated against at work? Why do you think happened?

All these issues root from this being an employer market. We won’t see this as much in good times.

Recently caught up with a friend who works for an “employee friendly” HR tech company. This brand has been boasting about how great they are with the sort of employee benefits they offer. The founder specially keeps boasting about this on LinkedIn and Twitter. 
Found out yesterday, that the employee benefits come at a cost of micro management and a toxic environment at the workplace. Really sad to see the perceptions that the brands create and the reality they offer. 

Would you prefer:
1. Few employee benefits with no micromanagement? Or
2. More employee benefits at the cost of micromanagement?

Number one definitely.

Welcome to Company Reviews's Private Community

Hey guys.
What are the worst companies to work for and why?

Worst companies to work for in India?

Hi Peeps, I had resigned from my position earlier in April, and was undergoing some me time to recover from Lung Infection (Severe Allergic Bronchitis) due to where I lived in Mumbai. Gave up smoking, drinking, partying and went into deep recovery mode at home.

I had been looking for jobs but hardly was able to land a few interviews after 2000+ applications everywhere. 

My previous organisation was super-cuntish where there was no health insurance(I was tricked), benefits or employee centrism. I lost literal paychecks because I was sick from the place I was living in and the lack of nutrition and selfcare. 
My next joining company does not have health insurance since it is a start-up. I just feel very pessimistic at this point of time

I have a DOJ for next week but I still extremely ill and feel like I'll die if I go back to Mumbai. I feel super stressed out. Mentally and physically. Parents are kinda pissed off since I am now a liability with my lung issue.

Should I stay jobless for a while and recover , or GTFO back to the grind of the market. 

Every day I feel I might not live long enough to see the end of decade.
